Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The rollback action is missing a right protection: it means that a user can rollback to a previous version of the page to gain rights they don't have anymore.
This vulnerability impacts all version of XWiki since rollback action is available.
### Patches
The problem has been patched in XWiki 14.10.16, 15.5.3 and 15.8-rc-1 by ensuring that the rights are checked before performing the rollback.
### Workarounds
There's no workaround for this vulnerability, except paying attention to delete old versions of documents that could allow users to gain more rights.
